It's Day 12 - the last day of our Christmas Blog Hop!
Today, we're sharing Decorated Trees!
I love decorating trees for Christmas!
I put out the same decorations each year, but I try to switch things around and add new handmade items. I usually create some sort of table-top type tree to add to my purple holiday décor! Today, I'm sharing with you some of my favorite holiday tree creations and the tutorial link to each project.
One of my favorite holiday creations is the ice glittered cone trees I made! They actually have crushed mirrors combined with glitter and mod podge for the "icing" on top!
And the decorative foam sheet trees - so classy and one of a kind! This is totally a diy craft starting with making the cones out of poster board, cutting out circles of foam sheets, turning the circles into ruffles using an iron, sprinkling the glue coated edges with glitter and finally gluing the ruffles on the cone trees with hot glue. That's all it takes to make these easy and elegant looking trees!
On a side note, love this complementary crushed velvet tree skirt made with silver holly leaves with bells!
And, to add a bit of glam and glitz, an ice tree!
You won't believe how this sparkles against the lights!
And can you believe this ornament wall tree?
I love how it looks with the ombre effect!
Then there's the Stak tree trimmed with filler stones! It's mini Styrofoam trees stacked on top of one another.
And a cut-out chalkboard fabric wall tree - perfect for the kitchen area!
There's another large tree located in the living room, with a diy 3D Corrugated Cardboard Tree on the table!
. . . along with a couple of decorative ribbon trees, I made years ago before blogging!
and finally, I've included my newest addition - an adorable purple crystal tree - a perfect tabletop decorative piece!
I hope you enjoyed this brief round up of some of my handmade decorative trees. I could go on and on showing more . . .
Thank you so much for joining us for this Twelve Days of Christmas Blog Hop!
